About Max

“Thank you very much for your invaluable professional help and counsel during this awful time. I truly wish that I had the money to pay you for all your services above and beyond the call of duty. I am deeply heartened by your devotion to your work and integrity.” From the wife of a client accused of possession/distribution of indecent images of children

I am a self-employed freelance criminal defence solicitor with McCormacks Law, one of London’s leading criminal defence law firms. Whilst I deal with general crime the vast majority of the cases I deal with are allegations of sexual offences. A high percentage of my clients are professionals whose livelihoods would be at risk if they were cautioned or convicted of any offence. As a result most of my clients instruct me on a private basis because they want the best possible service which is tailor made for them

As well as having my own caseload I am regularly instructed by some of UK’s leading private criminal defence firms to advise/represent their clients at police stations throughout the UK particularly in relation to sexual offences.

“I do not believe that I have ever come across a more impressively handled set of interviews by any solicitor in any case. Thank God you were there.” From Ms Sarah Forshaw QC one of UK’s leading ‘silks’

I am very passionate about my work and look after my clients. I like to think that I ‘go the extra mile’ for every client.

“I am sure you often hear people declare that they hope never to need your services, a sentiment I was going to express due to your preferred areas of expertise, but you have been so helpful with this rather trivial matter that you have guaranteed that I will contact you immediately should some serious charge be placed at our door. I really appreciate your time and effort.”
